This motorbike you see is one like many that are prevelant in Thailand. It’s amazing how many people and things that can fit on one of these! :) Anyhow a friend has let me borrow this bike. NO the kids do not ride with me, just me solo.
Well, the other day the ignition switch was stuck, so I called my friend and he came on his little motorbike to check it out. Since we could not get it started, he “schooled” me on the way to tow a motorbike with another motorbike….you hold on to the arm of the person on the good bike and they pull you. He said this is a common practice in Italy (where He is from) and maybe it is, but I was a first timer and I thought it was a very interesting idea. :) We did make it home just fine, and my arm was a little tired, to say the least. :) Just a little tid-bit into life in Thailand, I know there will be more to come.
Later,

PS. This morning I went early to get the paper work so I can get a driver’s license, and I was all “gung-ho” to beat the crowds………..well apparently I beat everyone because no one was there………..today (May 8th) was a national holiday, and the office was closed. :) How fun is that!
